Hi everybody I am trying to get RoR to work with lighttpd. Nearly there, but I am stuck with a strange phenomenon. If I configure lighttpd to serve pages on say port 2000, I can get at my testapp fine and see the "Welcome aboard" page. However, if I configure lighttpd to use port 80, I get a download prompt from my browser. If I access my URI like

Hello At the start of October, Duane Johnson announced the Query mixin plugin on this list. The code was attached to the announcement email. Unfortunately, I''ve not been able to locate the attached code. Goggle has not helped me this time. Could somebody forward it to me?

Random question: I''ve written a method for the String class that turns an arbitrary line of text in to an identifier, e.g.: "My, what a beautiful day!" => "my_what_a_beautiful_day" "(anb*#NF(AMNV" => "anb_NF_AMNV" We''ve got all these great names already like underscore, classify, titleize and things like that. I''d

I was talking to a friend of mine who''s developing PHP on trax and we came up with a solution to the ruby session file problem. I''m not sure if this idea has come up before, so I wanted to run it by everyone before making any code contributations and/or talking to the Rails core about it. It seems to me that the current situation we''re in with regard to

After hearing so much about RoR over the last few months, I finally decided to give it a try. I decided to follow the "Rolling with Ruby on Rails" article on ONLamp.com to get up and running. Unfortunately, since that fateful decision, I have run into nothing but obstacles. First, I downloaded and installed Ruby. That was my last success event. Then, I typed "gem install

I''ve recently made a first release of what I''m calling "bundled_resource" which is a plugin that makes our lives *much* easier when we need to use javascripts, stylesheets and images in conjunction with one another to deliver a special effect or tool on the client (browser) side. If you missed the release, read about it on my blog at

This plugin is available through the Rails plugin mechanism as ''action_cache'' >From the README: === Action Cache update This is a drop in replacement for the Rails Action Cache. When this plugin is installed, the new behavior will take effect without any further configuration. All documentation for the Rails Action Cache is still relevant. === Features

I am being barraged with Ruby, Rails and Rich Internet application work right now. Almost enough that I could quit the day job and make a go of it, forgetting about Java altogether. Places in the greater Miami area are turning on to Rails and Ruby -- much of it fueled by the stronger voices in the local Java community. Am I alone in this, or do many of you see absolutely explosive growth in Ruby,

Hi everybody, this is a little OT. We are using Lighttpd as a webserver for Rails. Our problem is that when we rotate the logs everyday at the end of the process, lighttpd stops writing the logs. To solve this we have to restart the server manually each time. We use a common Debian, lighttpd-1.4.7, Rails 1.0 and fcgi-2.4.0. I have tracked the lighttpd bugs, and I haven''t found

Hi, I''m running RoR and have set it up more or less like described in the wiki (for instance here http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/LighttpdWithProcessScripts). I can start the fcgi listener and see that ports 7000-7004 are listening. I can start lighttpd, and try to connect to the server. I can restart the default.fcgi listening scripts that i see in "ps ax | grep

Dear experts, I have rail site that is running lighttpd and fcgi. I want the default domain to serve the rails application, and I also want to have a virtualhost (bugs.mysite) to resolve to a bugzilla instance. Bugzilla is basically Perl application called through CGI. I tried to find pointers on how to set fcgi to run both rails dispatcher and other cgi scripts in a different virtualhost, and

I''d like to take some advice and write a generator to change the scaffold.css. How do I do that? I looked on the wiki and googled it but have not found anything yet. Any help would be much appreciated. bruce

I have moved my project to a dedicated server and I am getting a very annoying behaviour. I am able to view the site just fine when using the ip. The name is properly resolved on my computer, however I am getting "Bad Gateway The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server." This is simply random. The site works for several minutes, then i get this message for some

I''m working with a guy who has Apache 1.3 installed on his server, and it''s not an option to simply use lighttpd for a Rails application I''m helping him with. I''ve seen that Apache 2 apparently is crappy when it comes to fastcgi, but 1.3 isn''t so bad. I can then either just run my app straight in Apache, or I could proxy it through to lighttpd. Which

I am struggling to understand the methodology here... I have a find.rhtml <%= start_form_tag :action => ''list2'', :first_name = client %> <%# render :partial => ''form'' %> <p><label for="client_first_name">First name</label><br/> <%= text_field ''client'', ''first_name''

I''ve finally gotten lighttpd working for my production instance (SUSE 10.0 with SSL). (Had to install the fcgi dev toolkit, the SUSE 10 ruby-fcgi rpm, and the fcgi gem. I''m not positive all 3 were required, but that is what I did.) Now the devel instance of my app is broken. I''m not sure how to fix it. Previously I was using WEBrick for both devel and production.

Friends- I am almost finished with a custom live cd called Rubuntu ;-) This is an ubuntu live cd variant that comes preloaded with ruby and rails developers in mind. I already have it working with all the basics but I was wondering what extras people would like to see on this distro. What editors with what configurations? What other tools do people really like for rails development on a
